A method for fabricating read only memory, (ROM), devices, has been developed. The programmable cell of this ROM device is comprised of a P/N diode, place in a N+ buried bit line. The diode formation is accomplished using outdiffusion from a P+ polysilicon wordline, that is in direct contact to a specific bit line region.

A read-only memory device having a memory array composed of memory cells formed as P-N junction diodes when programmed to be in an ON state and as blocking capacitors when remaining in an OFF state. A number of insulators are placed on the surface of a P-type substrate isolated from each other and aligned along one first defined direction. Each of a number of N-type bit lines is located on the P-type substrate between every neighboring pair of insulators. Each of a number of switch control layers is located on a corresponding one of the N-type bit lines. Each of a number of P-type word lines is located on the insulators along a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. A punch-through voltage is applied through the switch control layers at selected memory cell locations, thereby programming the memory cell at such locations to be in an ON state. All other memory cells locations keep their switch control layers intact and are thereby programmed to be in an OFF state.

The structural configuration of an improved submicron metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor and the method of its fabrication are disclosed. A field oxidation procedure is employed to increase the thickness of the gate oxide layer at both of its ends. The result is decreased gate and drain overlapping region parasitic capacitance, as well as decreased gate-induced drain-leakage current, due to the reduction of the electric field intensity in the overlapping region at which the thickness is increased. The resulting metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor, therefore, is provided with improved operating characteristics for use at high frequencies.

A method of fabricating MOS device with anti-punchthrough region is described. The area of anti-punchthrough region is reduced by using the control of double spacers. Moreover, this method utilizes the buried contact structure to connect to the source/drain regions, which not only reduces the contact resistance but also reduces the device size since the metal contact can be provided over the field oxide layer instead of the source/drain regions. Hence, this method is capable of fabricating submicron devices for semiconductor integrated circuit.

A programmable read-only memory (PROM) and a method of fabrication are described. A plurality of bit-lines of a first conductivity type are formed in a semiconductor substrate and are spaced apart along a first direction. A dielectric layer is disposed on the semiconductor substrate, wherein the dielectric layer has a plurality of vias at predetermined positions above the bit-lines. A plurality of word-lines of a second conductivity type are disposed on the dielectric layer and spaced apart along a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction. A control layer is disposed within the vias and sandwiched between the bit-lines and the word-lines, wherein each crossing region of the bit-lines and the word-lines with the control layer disposed there between define a memory cell of the programmable read-only memory. When programming the PROM, selected memory cells of the programmable read-only memory are set in an ON state by applying a programming voltage higher than the normal reading voltage on the word-lines of the selected memory cells while grounding the bit-lines of the selected memory cells to break down the corresponding control layers, whereby the remaining memory cells of the PROM are allowed to remain in an OFF state.

The invention provides an ESD protection circuit, which is formed on a semiconductor substrate. There is at least one MOS transistor branches out at a place between an I/O port and an internal circuit. The MOS transistor includes a drain region, a source region, a gate oxide layer, and a gate electrode. The source and the drain regions are formed in the substrate and located on each side of the gate electrode. An insulating layer is formed over the substrate to cover the MOS transistor. A drain contact is formed in the insulating layer with a contact to the drain region of the MOS transistor so that the drain region can be coupled to the internal circuit through the drain contact. A source contact is formed in the insulating layer with a contact to the source region of the MOS transistor so that the source region can be coupled to the I/O port through the source contact. Several floating silicide blocks is located between the insulating layer and the substrate at the drain region. The silicide blocks are about evenly distributed within the drain region, and preferably distributed in a structure like grid nodes with a shift for the adjacent node row. The silicide includes self-aligned silicide.

An improved method for fabricating an ESD protection device so as to avoid ESD damage to a wafer. The improved method includes simultaneously forming an internal circuit and the ESD protection device without additional photomask or other process. The improved method uses a P.sup.+ doped region to take the place of an N.sup.- doped region of an interchangeable source/drain region with a LDD structure for the ESD protection device, of which its trigger voltage is adjusted by simply varying the P.sup.+ concentration.
